You do not need a fortune to market your translation business. In this video, Ravi Kumar shares practical translation management strategies: how business development, market research, and client management work together to turn new contacts into a steady stream of projects. He explains how cold and warm calls, email marketing, campaigns, and referrals can drive real traffic to your website, and why meeting the business community at exhibitions such as trade fairs, book fairs, and SME expos helps translators collect client profiles and start lasting relationships. Bodies like the local Chamber of Commerce, he notes, are a practical source of member directories for growing a network.

His core advice on client management: engage with potential clients, understand their plans first, and build trust before pitching. Two businesses work well together when each knows the other's strengths. Unsolicited spam can damage a young relationship, so always ask permission before sending marketing emails. And because data collection on prospective clients is the backbone of a translation business, a well-maintained data bank gives you the material to analyze opportunities and plan your next move.
